Our next meeting will be 2pm on March 10, 2018 in the Faith Formation building at Holy Rosary Parish.

Inquirers will discuss the Purpose of the Dominican Laity. More information and the syllabus for the year can be found here.

Candidates for admission will be discussing Chapters 15-20 of ‘St Martin de Porres: Apostle of Charity‘ by Giuliana Cavallini. Consider the following questions while reading:
1) What virtue/s or beatitudes/s did St. Martin demonstrate? Please give details with specific examples.
2) What early influences lead to his sanctity?
3) Is this a credible account of his life? Why did it take so long for St. Martin de Porres to be canonized compared to St. Rose? What do you think his response to these issues might be today?
4) How can you apply his struggles/behaviors to your journey to sainthood?

Professed members will be doing an exercise by finding an essay or other source material and applying the principles of disputation discussed in the February meeting.

The group study will begin with Chapters 1-2  of “Story of a Soul” by St. Therese of Lisieux. A reflection will be given on those chapters.  Read the reflection here.

If time permits, we may practice Psalm Tones.  An example of the music is here and the text to practice pointing the Magnificat is here.
